Research activities
I am a permanent researcher (chargé de recherche) working in french CNRS. I describe myself as a condensed matter theorist who is liking to discuss with colleagues around a coffee and in front of a blackboard, about real or imaginary experiments. My research activities consist in developing new theoretical tools and methods that allow to investigate electronic transport properties, vibrational signatures, and optical spectroscopy of molecular ensembles going from the single-molecule limit to the mesoscopic aggregate. Currently, I study the dynamics of light-matter interactions in various optical cavities, and how it affects the properties of molecules that are embedded inside. When not doing physics, I enjoy to read books and to practice karate.
